Life

Revival ended Sunday. It was really good but he was super long!! I meant to get a picture of them but it just didn't work out.

As you can see, I've updated my blog and even put on a new template! Yes, Rach, I did this all without someone telling me too!

I thought I would put up a couple pictures... This first is of my Sunday school class in Oct. '06 and the second is PART of my class in Jan. '08. Look at the increase in attendance and how much my girls have grown! All praise be to God! It is ONLY through Him!

These are my girls that I've had since Chels was 1 and she turned 3 the day after this picture was taken. Shyanne was like a few wks from being 4.

Mikey & Levi are brothers (like 14 months apart) and Shyanne & Chelsey are sisters (11 months apart)...yes, Chelsey & Mikey are cousins lol. (mixed up relationships at our church for sure!!)

Updates...

Hmm... what should I update with? Since I have a few "newbies" viewing me now, it should be something interesting huh?

Well, we lost another aunt and had her funeral a week ago so it's been a pretty sad time. Right now we are in the midst of revival with the Cawmans. It's been really good but he's super long!

I got my GOOD computer monitor back BUT before I did... I had uploaded all my pics on my other computer soooooo pics for the most part will have to wait.

This last Sunday we had Rachel & her boys with us and had a good time discussing everyone's blogs.

Well someone is trying to figure out who my family is so I'm going to upload our Christmas picture. I don't have one of my dad and that's who most people would know.


Welp... that's all folks!!!

Happy Birthday!!

Well today marks the birthday of TWO of my friends!

One is my really really REALLY good friend Barb! She won't see this but her niece and some that know her will soooo I'm posting it anyhow!!

The other is a friend from my "childhood" lol... makes me sound so old!! Annette Musser... we were really close when we were younger and then she moved away :( but hopefully through the i-net we can get semi-close again!!

Happy birthday gals!!

Been awhile?

Yeah, yeah, Rachel, I'm working on it lol. What should I post in this post... well...

Lots has happened since I last posted. Back in January-in a matter of 11 days, we had lost just about as many friends and family. One of the most devastating deaths was the little 12 year old from our church that burned in a fire. Things slowed down after that for a little while, but it seems like they are starting to speed back up. Just this morning we found out that the mother of the first man that died in January passed away yesterday. So it has been a busy/rough couple of months.

In my "spare" time, thanks to Mrs. Springer lol I have been RUINED!! She got me started on free stuff & I just can't stop lol. I have ordered almost 200 things! I have gotten right around 50 right now. Some days it feels like Christmas!!

Some of the stuff that I have gotten has been:
**Contour Diabetes Meter Kit (strips & all)**
**One Touch Mini Meter Kit (in pink...again with strips & all)**
**Colgate Kindergarten pack of toothbrushes & toothpaste**
**Target book bag**
**tote, water bottle, calendar, & pens**
**pens**
**address labels**
**coloring books**
**Bible & study books**
**calendar**
**sippy cup**
**stickers**
**journal & pen**
and much, much more... lol but I won't bore you!!

Anyways, that's my life for right now!! Hope you're doing pretty good too!

We start revival in like a wk or two so pray for us... Oh, yeah, that's another thing that happened... we had a ministerial revival with the guys from AWC. It was REALLY awesome & we had a good time of fellowship with them all.

Two posts in one day!!

How do you rate? Anyways, I wanted to tell yall about something that happened here at our little hospital yesterday morning!!

I didn't find the pictures they had on the news so this will have to go without pictures for right now but anyhow.

Yesterday morning, just before 9, a 75 year old man walked right into our hospital, right into our ICU, greeted the nurses, walked right into his wife's room, shot her point blank and then turned the gun on himself. They call it a mercy killing but still is pretty creepy to me!! If HE can do it to his own wife, who is to say that just anyone can't get into our hospital with a gun and start a rampage?! My mom knew his wife from when the lady worked at the Oil City hospital where 2 of my siblings were born. The lady had Alzheimer's & her husband wrote in a note that he couldn't allow her to suffer anymore. Very sad!! We must definitely remember the family in our prayers!!

Merry Christmas & a few extras

Well, let me first start out by saying belated Merry Christmas to all. On Christmas Day, I spent the entire day in bed because of my jaw. Yes, the pain has returned and been pretty bad but I think we MIGHT have found something that at least helps at times.

Well, let's see... next- after 3 weeks of having no kids(because of weather!!) we scrambled to find a program to present on Sunday morning! All in all, I think it went pretty good. On the 16th, the weather was bad that we couldn't have church either service but it was nice enough in the afternoon that we still got to do our caroling and that was enjoyable. Then on the 18th, we did our "neighborhood" caroling. There is a guy that lives just up the road from the church that we have been trying to get to come to church for as long as I can remember and thank the Lord, he finally came this past Sunday night!! Hopefully he comes back!! We had a chalk drawing for the kids on Sunday morning & a big chalk presentation on Sunday night.

For Christmas, I got a new camera & Mom let me have it a few days early so I could take pictures of my kids with their presents on Sunday & I did... But I can't upload them to here because... my new camera has officially broken already & I have to take it back or something. That was my big present & then I got a few small odds & ends.

Well, I guess my blog for the day is a bit jumbled up but anyhow...enjoy it anyways!!

PS. I hope to get the background and everything changed soon so bear with me!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah... it's only been less than a month since last post

LOL... I see that someone (who shall remain nameless lol) complained that my blog hadn't been updated. Probably because I told her she never updates hers. The big thing is... she has kids so her life is MUCH more interesting than mine!! So back @ ya girly... update with pics :-P

Sorry, I don't have pics on mine anymore... my camera has totally broke... it won't even turn on.

Have several pieces of bad news for this blog:
1) My new computer that I was so graciously given has blown out the new monitor so I'm back to this old slow thing from the school.
2) Our mailbox was hit by the plow truck (with mail in it of course).
3) I haven't been able to have Sunday school with my kids for this week will make 2 weeks. Last week we got hit with an ice storm and this week, the van drivers are going away.
4) On Sat. night we got stranded @ my friend Barb's...almost had to stay all night because of the ice being so bad (and she only lives like 1 mile from me).

Well, guess that's all for now.
